    "content": "Hon. Cabinet Secretary, welcome to the House and congratulations. I am confident that you will carry out your mandate and make all the women proud. I have a supplementary to the Question asked by Sen. Catherine Mumma. In your response, you have indicated that 1,180 groups have benefited about 12,538 under the revised Constituency Women Enterprise Scheme (C-WES). Hon. Cabinet Secretary, as you can see, so many women have been left out of that bracket. The figure of 12,538 is almost an underwhelming number. When you look at the women and the role they have towards families and communities, they make up of over 50 per cent of our population. We now have many women heading homesteads as single parents. We also have very many women in vulnerable categories. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that this Fund is accessible to more women and the requirement of security, even by the formal banking sector when women want to borrow money, is eased off to give women access to more finance and loans to do business and support their livelihoods and those of their families?"
